Crate web_server

Expand description

web_server is a small, dependency-less crate for creating HTTP servers. When you coding the backend using Rust, the most annoying thing could be the size of a freamwork and the time needed to compile the application

The web_server package fixes these problems. web_server has no dependencies, but allows you to create full-fledged servers

First server using web_server

use web_server::route;

web_server::new()
   .get("/", Box::new(|request: web_server::Request, mut response: web_server::Response|
        "Hello World!".into()))
   .launch(80)
   .unwrap();

It’s easy! First you must create instance of HttpServer

web_server::new()

then you can declare your endpoints. E.g.

.get("/your/path", Box::new(|request, default_response| {
    // There place your logic
    // This function returns Response
    "response text".into()
}))
.post("/your/path", Box::new(|_, _| "Handler for POST method".into()))
.route(web_server::HttpMethod::DELETE, "/your/path", Box::new(|_, _| "Handler for DELETE method".into()))
.any("/your/path", Box::new(|_, _| "Handler for any method"))

Now you must run server by launch method

.launch(PORT).unwrap()

You can send files to client e.g.

.get("/image.png", Box::new(|_, _| {
    std::path::Path::new("path to your file").into();
}))
